YES!!!  According to Car and Driver, the Escort is near the tops in X band 
sensitivity, and king of the hill in K band.  Although they have not formally 
tested the Passport yet, they did do some spot measurments on it during their 
test of hidden radar detectors, and it won hands down.  The Escort also seems
to be the least vunerable to false alarms.

I, for one, won't drive *anywhere* without my Passport.
